    Time to Update Apps and Internet Radio URLs

    I really appreciate the Internet radio stations including the staff picks but the usefulness is really reduced because many of the URLs are not current or functional.

    The same issue is with the Apps. Pandora can now stream at 196k versus the free version of 128k. I know MP3 streams are thin sounding but I would like to have the option of listening to Pandora at the higher bandwidth versus the limited bandwidth the App currently supports.

    And the BBC App URLs are not the current URLs.

    Can we get a little support with maintaining the current offerings?

    I don't envy anyone trying to maintain current URLs for internet radio, and agree it could be better. I have found that RadioTime does a very good job at staying current, so one possible workaround is when you find a broken link under Staff Picks that you look for it under RadioTime. Not an ideal solution, but a decent workaround.

    The issue with Pandora is on Pandora's end. They apparently need to do some work on their API to get the 192k stream to SBs. This has been discussed on the forums before, including posts from andyg, the SD/Logitech developer who handles these things. A quick forum search should turn up the relevant thread(s) with more info.
